Meet Wear OS: Google has officially rebranded Android Wear

Smartwatches and other wearables haven’t quite eliminated the need for a smartphone yet but they’re still fairly popular pieces of tech, particularly in the health and fitness community.

With that in mind, it was no surprise to see Google enter the smartwatch market themselves back in 2014 with the launch of their “Android Wear” wearable OS. Though the search giant doesn’t technically sell any branded devices of their own, they’ve partnered up with companies like Asus, LG and Samsung to bring the OS to market.
